Good Friday Explained
When I was young it was a very special day in our small town. Every store and most establishments were closed between 1-3 in order to remember Christ's suffering and death. I always felt the solemness of those three hours. It was a time to sit in church quietly reflecting upon life and those blessing we have received on earth. It was a time of humility.
Today business goes on as usual, some people have the day off from work, the banks close a little earlier, but that is about it. Few people will actually attend a service today, let alone think about renewing their personal faith.
So, take time to reflect upon life, practice gratitude, find a moment of solace. Your religious philosophy, and whether or not you follow a particular faith is unimportant. What does matter is how you perceive life and the actions you take during your time here.
As Mr. Rodgers would say, "Its' a beautiful day in the neighborhood," so enjoy yours and share loving energy with all those you meet along the way.
